Printing to a File

The Print to File option, found on the Print dialog, allows you to save a print job to a file in the printer's language, rather than directly to a printer. Printing to a file can be useful, especially in the following situations:

• To save the print output data in order to print your items at a later time.

• To print your items from another computer.

• To view or edit the print output data for various purposes.

When the Print to File option is selected, BarTender displays a Print to File dialog at print-time that allows you to specify a path and filename for your print data.

For more information on how to print the file later, see DOS COPY and PRINT Commands.
